2025 GTA Institutional Construction Benchmark Report is now live.
Over the past 24 months, institutional construction in Ontario has entered a new era, higher servicing costs, increased MEP complexity, longer lead times, and a wider spread between value-engineered vs. standard builds.

Boards and committees are often asked to make major budget decisions with limited or outdated information.

To support better planning, our firm has compiled a comprehensive 2025 Benchmark Report, summarizing:

• Current $/sq.ft benchmarks for Ontario institutional buildings
• Cost ranges for Optimized / Standard / Enhanced builds
• Servicing + stormwater cost impacts (Markham, York Region, GTA)
• Mechanical & electrical cost influencers
• VE opportunities backed by real tender data
• 24–26 month cash-flow curve
• Key risks facing 2025–2026 institutional projects

This report is fully data-backed using Altus, Turner, AECOM, RSMeans, and GTA tender results.
